The Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture (TIA) is a research institute at the University
of Tasmania specialising in impact-driven research to support prosperous, innovative
and sustainable agriculture and food sectors, and a healthy bioeconomy that supports
communities. TIA began in 1996 as a joint venture between the University of Tasmania
and the Tasmanian Government, bringing together the human and physical resources of
the Tasmanian Government with the scientific research and teaching capacity of the
University of Tasmania. In 2018 it took over Agriculture and Food Sciences, from the
former School of Land and Food.
